This page is intended to give exposure to some of the VR preservation projects currently going on around the country. Where the vehicle history has been added to the site, click on the registration number to link to it, otherwise information is temporarily restricted to what you see on this page. Please let your editor know if you own (or know someone who owns) a preserved VR that we don't know about. There are currently 225 VRs featured on this page (November 2012). We would also be very pleased to receive more recent photographs of any of these VRs to include here.
